The real problem of equalization in this country is that Vancouver got no F-ing snow this winter, and it is still snowing here today.

@rodmickleburgh As Tom Nichols said a few days ago "I think the bigger problem is that there are probably millions of people in this country that don't know we've gone to war, or don't care, as long as the WiFi is on and there's something good on TV."

How can Trump supporters stomach any of this...?
Michael McFaul@McFaul
Putin has lied his entire career. Yet Witkoff says we can take Russia “at their word” that they’re not sharing intelligence with Iran. Taking the Kremlin at face value while U.S. intelligence reportedly says otherwise is utterly incomprehensible and mind-boggling naive.

Botulinum toxin is 100% natural and one of the deadliest molecules known.
Aspirin is synthetic and has saved millions of lives.
“Natural vs synthetic” was never the right question.
The real question is risk, dose, and evidence.
But somewhere along the way we forgot.

@rodmickleburgh Everyone should stop going. It's the only currency they understand. But, I know - ticket packages are prepaid. Sigh 🤬

It's beyond a disgrace.....#Canucks.....it's not as if the fans don't pay a hell of a lot of money to see such ineptitude....
Rob Williams@RobTheHockeyGuy
The 2025-26 #Canucks currently have a worse home-ice points percentage than any team since 1996.

@rodmickleburgh @BNPPARIBASOPEN when it is a lower ranked player, fine. But a top ten player? I find it a bit disrespectful.
English
@baschmid17 @BNPPARIBASOPEN Well otherwise, we might not see the match…I kind of like it

Playing some of the best tennis of his young career, Diallo wins the 1st set tiebreaker against Felix in a battle of the Canadians….he’s relaxed…all the pressure is on Felix #IndianWells @BNPPARIBASOPEN

Science is hard.
You have to prove it, test it, and reproduce the results.
Pseudoscience is easy.
Make it up. Add fear.
Watch it spread.

Imagine living in a country like Canada -- peaceful, free, gentle, polite??? -- and wanting to "separate?" WTF is up with that? Maybe it's a sign that life has been too easy; if you've travelled and you've seen how many others live, you'd kiss the ground and say Thank You.

@Dred_Tory So true. I have lived within miles of the US border almost all my life. But not until I got American relatives, did I realize how far apart we really are. And how unreconcilable.
English
It's always been my contention that what are usually assumed to be profound similarities between Canada and the US are in fact superficial, and that wide cultural disparities appear when key indicators are considered.
This is one of many cases in point.
Pew Research Center@pewresearch
We asked people around the world to rate the morality and ethics of others in their country. The U.S. is the only place we surveyed where more adults describe the morality and ethics of others living in the country as bad than good. See our full morality report here: pewresearch.org/religion/2026/…

The problem isn't the availability of scientific research.
It's the flood of people misinterpreting complex data with zero training and full confidence.
Access to information is no longer the barrier. Understanding it is.

Spend 20 years studying Chemistry.
Collect data. Publish papers.
Earn a PhD. Write patent applications.
Go online. Get told you're wrong - by an anonymous electric screwdriver salesman.
That's the internet.
Expertise vs confidence.
Science isn't broken.
Our respect for it is.

@rodmickleburgh Could we trade all the management people???
English
All the #Canucks are open to a trade....why wouldn't you want to leave this sinking ship...?

@GrayMarker99 Your pictures are wonderful and inspiring! Don't listen to them!!!

Beautiful sunset this evening.
Haven’t posted in a couple days. A “follower” criticized me saying that I was part of the reason our education system is failing our kids. Basically saying that I post too many pics to be a good teacher. Way to go ruin a hobby, eh! LOL

Probably shouldn’t mention that “best and most fun panel you’ve worked with alltime”comment you kept saying 😳. That might not help your return. 🤫

Pretty sure I'm getting the Punch the Monkey treatment when I get back on the panel tonight.

In these uncertain times, it is important to remember who we are as Canadians, & what we cherish. For me, I hold dear the right to be an individual whilst belonging to a society that collectively strives to be just, fair, & inclusive. We are far from perfect, but we are good.🇨🇦

@archer_rs Tumeric and dill cod is one of the best fish dishes! Riesling is good.

Dinner this evening is a Vietnamese dish (our housekeeper's daughter has just returned from a holiday there)
Mekong prawns
Turmeric and dill cod with rice noodles
Vanilla ice cream with walnuts
The wine pairing is problematic and I am consulting with my wine dealer.

@rodmickleburgh I hope someone takes him aside to point that out.....

What the hell was he doing going 1 on 3 in OT????
Twice...coughed up the puck both times....#ConnorMcDavid #CanvsUSA

It has to be said, that was not a great OT by Connor McDavid #TeamCanada 🇨🇦 #MilanoCortinaOlympics2026
